Confidence, brain and stop.
These words and movements will save you from getting bullied.

What is
bullying?

Bullying is a serious issue
of NZ. Bullying is being mean but continually and repeatedly. So that means
being mean every day for a while. There are lots of different parts in bullying
for example. The bystander the bystander is someone who knows what’s going on
and is there while a person is being bullied and not do anything, the
upstander, the upstander is the opposite to the bystander the upstander sees
what’s going on and stands up for them. The victim is the person who is getting
bullied and finally the bully and we all know what the bully does.

ACC

ACC is a acronym for Alert,
Calm and Confident. Let’s start with alert. That means to be aware of your
surroundings. So basically, having your head up and looking around and knowing
what is in the room you are in. Now calm. Which means not being anxious to tell
anyone and to just be yourself and not care what other people think. Confident.
Confident means having confident body language having your shoulders back and
your back straight and feeling good about yourself.

Personal space

Arms out straight and stop
it I don’t like it. Actions that you can do that will help you and the bullying
that might be happening stop. Arms out straight, you do this when someone is
touching you or in your personal space, you put your arms out straight and and
say stop it I don’t like it and walk away confidently and go tell a teacher.

Telling
someone.

When you are getting
bullied you should always tell someone if that’s a friend or a teacher. You
could tell a friend so then they could go with you to tell the teacher. You
have to tell a teacher so they can deal with it. It’s important not be anxious
about telling someone because they will help fix it.

The rubbish bin

The rubbish bin is
something that you should do when someone says something mean to you, it is a
simple action, and you do it by putting one of your hand on you hips and then
imagining the mean thing someone said or did In your other hand and then you chuck
the mean thing through the gap between your hand and shoulder. Then boom!
The mean thing is gone and out of your mind.

To conclude, I think kid
power is a great thing in the community because they help us come against
bullying and get rid of it. Bullying needs to stop.

How to prevent bullying

Bullying is a serious issue facing New Zealand
students.

Yesterday my class went to a session with kidpower
on how to prevent bullying.

This is all your going to need to know to be a
superhero who takes down bully.

To stop bullying you need a strong posture and do
not slump because slumping makes you look weak and more of a target.

When dealing with a bully who's picking on you
always be confident in yourself.

If a bully comes up to you be calm and put both
your hands in front of you and say do not touch me with a stern face than turn
around and simply walk away.

But if a bully keeps bothering you should get a
teacher or a group of friends because a group of 4 is more intimidating than 1.

Now if your being bullied you know 3 simple steps
to prevent it,

Put your arms in front of you

Say don't touch me (with a straight face)

Than walk away (not run)

The best piece of advice is to just ignore him or
her and always tell on a bully because bullying is not a good thing to do.
